ECO FRIENDLY DESIGN

Every year, we introduce more and more furniture as well as accessories made from eco-friendly materials. Therefore, when purchasing from the Royalcraft brand you can be sure that you support the environment. Our global supply chain is sustainable, fair and transparent.

• Our wood comes from responsible forest management and fair production. In the forests we meet the highest social and ecological standards. The FSC® 100% seal is a sign of compliance with these principles. The forests from where we source wood for our FSC® garden furniture, under licence code FSC-C015992, are managed sustainably according to the highest international standard. This ensures that the forest is preserved for future generations.
• Through investing in R&D and working closely with partner factories we have created a UKFR compliant fabric from 100% recycled bottles (the material looks and feels like spun polyester).
• Aluminium, the majority of which our metal sets are constructed from, is strong and highly malleable and one of the most plentiful resources on this planet. This makes it very commercially viable. It is also highly sustainable, environmentally friendly and almost endlessly recyclable.
• We understand how the use of plastics in the manufacture of our rattan furniture impacts the environment longer term. Supporting research into safe recycling and ongoing development of safer plastics well help make our business more sustainable and in global terms, more environmentally friendly.

 

Data hosting centres have a big share in energy consumption and CO2 pollution, due to their massive use of electric power and cooling systems. From the very beginning, Royalcraft has known the importance of green energy and that is why we host our data exclusively with a hosting provider who operates in an environmentally responsible manner. Our Data Centre Infrastructure is entirely based on Cloud Platform which is recognised as a carbon-neutral platform, matching 100% of its energy consumption with renewable sources like wind and solar. Our sustainable-first approach not only benefits the environment but also provides an eco-friendly foundation for our business. By prioritising our love for people and nature we aim to inspire not only our customers but everyone around us to live a more conscious and responsible life.
